In the neighboring prefecture of Rethymnon, the sea flooded the streets.

Strong winds caused the collapse of the power network with the effect that many areas are still without electricity.

Monsters….

Amid the strong storm a monster of a human decided to abandon a puppy. He tied it to a stone and hided it inside the foliage on a road side in Kounoupidiana area of Chania. The little dog was rescued, when a passerby heard his whining and barking, searched in the foliage and found the poor creature, wet to the bone. He took the doggy to a nearby vet and the local animal welfare society undertook the expenses.

  No words….

I am sure neighbors can identify the dog and the heartless owner. grrrrrrr….
